Introduction

In the world of packaging, ensuring that products reach consumers in perfect condition is paramount. One critical aspect of this process is the ability to withstand compressive forces during storage and transportation. This is where the Box Compression Tester (BCT) comes into play. At Pacorr, we understand the importance of reliable packaging, and our Box Compression Tester is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern packaging standards.

What is a Box Compression Tester?

A Box Compression Tester is a specialized instrument used to measure the compressive strength of packaging materials, particularly corrugated boxes. It assesses how much weight a box can withstand before collapsing. This information is crucial for manufacturers to ensure their packaging can protect products during shipping and handling.
